New year is a day, to tune the rhythm called SOUL, with best chords called EXPERIENCES and play the guitar called LIFE Picture Quote #1

I’ve been used for writing rhythm guitar chords for a long time because it’s so easy to play and chords just sound good on it Picture Quote #1

I just like simplicity. I like simple songs, I like simple chords, simple vocals, simple lead guitar. I just like simplicity. That’s just the way I like it Picture Quote #1

My guitar only has five strings ‘cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there Picture Quote #1

I’m basically a keyboard player, so if it’s got a keyboard on it, I’ll give it a shot. I played a lot of organ in the early days. I can make a few chords on guitar, but that’s about it Picture Quote #1

In high school, I decided I wanted to learn guitar, so I picked it up and starting teaching myself some basic chords and started playing with friends. Guitar inherently lends itself to be guitar music, especially when you’re not good at guitar Picture Quote #1

I started playing guitar back in 56. I was a teenager, and guitars had just come in, and I had a thing for it and got one. Started learning lead breaks from songs, because that was the easiest thing to do at the time. I had the guitar for two years before I learned any chords. Really Picture Quote #1

We tune differently, and we use some tricks. There’s just the two of us for much of a concert, so we want a big sound. We do use some guitar effects, distortion and delay. Playing cello with distortion sounds so good Picture Quote #1

I try to become a singer. The guitar has always been abused with distortion units and funny sorts of effects, but when you don’t do that and just let the genuine sound come through, there’s a whole magic there Picture Quote #1

And if I would have taken lessons I probably wouldn’t have done it, and what forced me to do all this weird stuff on the guitar was I couldn’t afford effects pedals, I didn’t have all this stuff when I was a kid so I just tried to squeeze all the weird noises I could out of the guitar, which brings me to building guitars Picture Quote #1

Just like on Guitar Hero, there are things that are similar and things that are not similar at all. When I first played DJ Hero, I wasn’t very good. The control surface is similar in some ways to a turntable, but in other ways not at all the same Picture Quote #1

I think the furthest I ever got was Guitar Hero. If I could start a band like that, I think I could do it Picture Quote #1

I have three sons, as different from each other as any three humans could be but connected by their shared love of Guitar Hero. I’m lucky to be married to a man I can call my soulmate without any irony whatsoever Picture Quote #1

What Guitar Hero has done is to turn music inside out. Whereas the iPod made music very personal, very singular - you put your ear-buds in and you listen to it - Guitar Hero turned it around and made it very social. So it is fun to play. It’s fun to play against people Picture Quote #1

I suppose ultimately I’m interested in music. I’m a musician. I’m not a gunslinger. That’s the difference between what I do and what a lot of guitar heroes do Picture Quote #1

People used to say, Clapton is God. That was a phrase that people attributed to him, and he was a guitar hero back in his day. He chose a different path. And you can read about it, but he was really at the top of his game back then. I think he’s one of the greatest rock players who’ve ever lived. His timing and everything was just so on Picture Quote #1

I have a lot of guitar heroes I guess, some of them are female and some of them are male. Robert Fripp is one of them, and Marc Ribot, that’s another guitar hero Picture Quote #1

My second record was all about big ideas - I was trying to make big statements about the culture, about life. I think in a certain way, I was a 27 year old kid with a guitar Picture Quote #1

I look for things that are left of center, something you’ve only seen your whole life, but never heard. Hit it! With a stick! I have a guitar made out of a 2x4 that I bought in Cleveland Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I understood guitar rock as well as I probably should have. I don’t think I understood bands like Led Zeppelin. In their era, everyone had such a regard for them because of them ushering in rock n’ roll and this larger-than-life lifestyle. But then they had these songs that would just not stop. I didn’t fully get it Picture Quote #1

I gave guitar lessons. I tried to join bands. My mom always said it was obvious that nothing was going to stop me Picture Quote #1

I’ve never liked having like a set kind of schedule of training. Even when I was doing guitar lessons, I never used to practice Picture Quote #1

My parents worked for Exxon, and they gave me every chance to take part in music. I took guitar lessons, and I was in the choir at school Picture Quote #1
